Crackdown

When the level begins head inside the convenience store and talk to the cashier. After this is done return to your car. The screen will fade to black and you’ll regain control inside your house. Check the messages one your answering machine and head down to your car to start the action portion of Chapter Nine: Crackdown.

When you first enter the first floor of the building you’ll be standing in a long hallway lined with armed guards. Veer immediately into the room on your left and use the pool cue on the nearby pool table to dispatch the waiting enemies. Arm yourself with what they drop and make your way into the building to the north. There are two enemies waiting inside; kill them and you can exit into the hallway on the west.

Once out here use one of the guns dropped by the enemies you killed to draw the attention of the enemies in the hall. Kill them as they come, keeping an eye on the doorway behind you to avoid being flanked. Once you’ve cleared away the present enemies move to the rooms on the eastern side of the floor and clear away the remaining guards. You can then climb the stairs to the second floor.

On the second floor you’ll be standing on the eastern side of the map. Directly east will be a door leading into an L-shaped hallway. There will be a trio of enemies nearby: one standing still and two, armed with a crowbar and a shotgun, doing laps near the aforementioned door. Wait for the enemy with the gun to get close and then smash him with the door. Dispatch the two remaining enemies and then pick up the guard’s gun if you don’t have one already.

Make your way down the hall. At its end will be an enemy waiting with a shotgun. Blast him before he can shoot you and then pick up his weapon. The gunshot will alert all the nearby enemies who will come charging out to attack you. Retreat down the hallway, backing around the corner. Shoot the enemies as they come and then press on clearing the rest of the floor.

If at any point you see a laser shining through the windows in the southern part of the level or hear sirens, retreat back to the stairwell. Take too long in this level and a police SWAT team will arrive. Avoid the laser by sticking along the walls and running past the windows when the coast is clear. If the laser hits you when crossing the window, the sniper will kill you. The SWAT team will finish clearing the floor of enemies. With that done head back down the stairs and return to your car to end the level.
